Data source: Own remote observatory
Over the past 10 years I have worked to create my "astronomical lifework" at my remote observatory at the "Emberger Alm" in Austria. The same equipment (0.44 m Newtonian telescope, SBIG ST-10 XME, AO-8) was used all the time. Now eventually I have finished the "Crab Nebula one decade time-lapse movie". 386 single L (bin 1x1), R (bin 2x2), G (bin 2x2), B (bin 2x2) frames with a total integration time of 32 hours were combined with 10239 calibration frames (bias, darks, flats) into 10 color images, one for each year from 2008 to 2017. Strong high dynamic range processing and sharpening reveals the versatile movements of the white synchrotron radiation beside the normal expansion of the red filaments. The 10 color images were finally combined to an animated gif with a frame duration of 150 msec.

The computed expansion for a period of 150 years you can find at: Crab Nebula (computed Expansion 1950 - 2100), animated GIF
A new video with music Crab Nebula (computed Expansion 1950 - 2100) is based on the 386 real images with a total integration time of 32 hours, recorded in the years 2008 - 2017.
Exactly after 3 years: the continuation at: Crab Nebula (time-lapse movie 2008-2020).

If this user has been harassing you, and you shadow-ban them, all their activities on your content will be invisible to everyone except themselves.
They will not know that they have been shadow-banned, and the goal is that eventually they will get bored while having caused no harm, since nobody saw what they posted.
You will remove your shadow-ban on this user, and their comments, messages, etc, will appear again on your content.
Such limitation improves the website as a whole by discouraging people from creating fake accounts to like their own content. Thank you for understanding!
